Wot so funee; the rights of children

My son never ceases to amuse me (and frustrate me) with the way he sees the world.  As far as he is concerned the whole of the universe should revolve around him and everything should happen because he says so.  Just lately, one of his favourite phrases is; “It’s my right!”

He uses this phrase a lot and usually in response to being asked to do something that he doesn’t want to do.  So I asked him what he though his rights are and having gone away and given it some thought, he sat down and wrote this rather entertaining list;

1. Do what I want.

2. Say words like ‘what the hell’ and ‘Jesus Christ’.

3.  Be crazy.

4. Be annoying.

5. Go on video games when I desire.

6. Take my sister’s pizza when I desire.

7. Drink real ale.

8. Be demanding.

9. Not sleep.

10. Burp.

11. I can swing on the washing line.

12. I don’t need to put my shoes on properly.

So those are the ‘rights’ of a nine year old boy, apparently.  Do not ask me where the real ale came from, that is a very random one.  It did make me smile though.
